Looking for an optic for a Armalite AR 104 rifle...any ideas

[sooner78wakeboard]

There are a plethora of scopes out there available for rifles, what do you all use? I'd like to check them out.

Did you ask Wyo? He's the long-range shooter out west.

Not very well versed in optics. I have a awesome aim point red dot on my AR

I have three AR's, 2 of them have an EoTech 512 and the third one has an EoTech 552. If you are talking about a scope, I can't help you with that. All of my hunting rifles have cheap scopes. All have a Tasco World Class 3X9X40 except for my 270, it has a Bushnell Banner 9X18X60.


If you get an EoTech 552 be careful and only buy from a reputable dealer. There are several counterfiet/fake 552's on the market.

get a red dot! some companies have a 4X magnifier add on available too.

on my 270 I have a Leupold Vari-XIII 3.5x10x50... I bought this scope 17 years ago and have been very happy ever since. You can still purchase this same scope, and its a LOT less now...

This rifle will primarily be used for hunting.

Here is an idea I have been kicking around.

Burris AR-332 Prism Sight

and mount one of these on top of it, long and short distant ready.

Burris FastFire II

This rifle will primarily be used for hunting.

I mean if your in closer range I would say Red Dot but if you are looking for 200+ shots your gonna need something with some power.

My suggestion would be a Zeiss Conquest scope. Better glass than a Leupold and in the same price point. I have a Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40 RapidZ 600 retical topped off on my Springfield M1A Supermatch. Once I worked up the best load for my rifle and got the balistic data. I went to Zeiss's website and entered the info in their ballistic caculator and it gave me the point of impact from 100 to 600 yards with my load.
